Pros

Excellent training for someone new to the industry or to sales in general. If you follow their recipe you will not fail.

Cons

Very difficult, nearly impossible to start from scratch. If you follow their recipe you will not fail, but that doesn't necessarily equal success either.

Pros

- company puts clients first - a name people trust in an industry they distrust - lots of freedom to run/build your business how you want to - trips are great - unlimited income potential - partnership
